Flow is a holistic, user-centered, autonomous car-sharing concept. It was developed to meet the requirements of future on-demand mobility in urban areas.
Flow is a futuristic concept for the year 2030. Because of the increasing cites and population it needs new intelligent methods for mobility. This project is a forward looking Car Sharing solution based on autonomous vehicles.
The flow vehicle learns where and at what time is a need of transportation they distribute themselves to the overcrowded areas to create the most efficient, nationwide network.

Color coding provides ease of access.
GPS tracking & user-identification before boarding.
Personalized welcome-message on exterior HMI.
Ease of access for handicapped people due to height-adaptive exterior HMI.
Adjustable ramp.
Compact, lightweight, 3d-printed body, combined with flexible solar-panels. Cluster parking to save space in urban areas.
The self-monitoring system recognizes high-demand areas and relocates the fleet accordingly to ensure ubiquitous availability. During low-demand hours, the Flow vehicles are designed to make use of cluster-parking in public multi-storey parking-lots where the fleet quickly recharges using inductive charging solutions.
